Fan Li is a veteran. He had already guessed Zhang Fei's purpose before he came, so of course he came to the appointment not just to scold Zhang Fei or to expose Zhang Fei's cover.
If he really wants to take revenge on Zhang Fei, he can directly inform Li Guozhong and others about the matter.
But he didn't do that.
The reason is that he saw potential benefits in Zhang Fei.
You can get hundreds of coins with just one contract.
What is this concept?
If he could cooperate with Zhang Fei, his bookstore would not be able to take off.
Although Zhang Fei has offended many people, it seems that there are also many people who support Zhang Fei, including the most popular people Wang Anshi and Xu Zun.
Moreover, under the encirclement and suppression of many important officials, Zhang Fei was still able to break through the encirclement and become a blockbuster.
So which one is strong and which one is weak, Fan Li naturally has to weigh it carefully.
And of course he had such a tough tone before, just to pay back the money on the spot.
However, there are no eggs!
Zhang Fei didn't accept his tricks at all. Not only that, he was also suppressed by Zhang Fei.
In the final analysis, strength speaks for itself.
He can't control Zhang Fei.
In the end, he signed the partnership agreement.
Zhang Fei will join their Fan family bookstore as a partner, and will modify the bookstore management system to focus on partners. This system is relatively loose and can separate the nominal helmsman from the actual helmsman.
In other words, if something does happen, Fan Li will bear it.
"I have to go back quickly and tell that woman the good news, so that she can be happy."
After getting off the boat, Zhang Fei hurried back to Xu Mansion.
You must know that this is his real purpose. He wants to regain this reputation. He wants to prove that the other party's encirclement and suppression of him are in vain. He wants to give the other party a big surprise to show that he is not that easy to bully.
.
And Xu Zhiqian is also looking forward to this moment very much.
"Wang...Senior Brother Wang?"
When I returned home and was about to tell Xu Zhiqian the good news, I suddenly found that Wang Ye was also there.
Wang Ye cupped his hands and said, "I'm taking the liberty to pay you a visit. I hope you'll forgive me for disturbing me!"
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "First of all, this is not my home. Secondly, I also hope that you can come here often."
Wang Ye said happily: "Really?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Of course, when you come here, you must have brought delicious wine and food."
The smile on Wang Ye's face gradually stiffened, and the words "we felt like old friends at first sight" were suppressed.
Knowing that, Xu Zhiqian pursed her lower lip and almost laughed out loud. Seeing Wang Ye's face turning red with embarrassment, she thought to Zhang Fei and said, "It seems that our Xu family usually treats you badly."
Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "Of course not, Mrs. Xu misunderstood, but...it's just that the wine your Senior Brother Wang brought is really delicious, don't you think?"
Xu Zhiqian secretly glanced at Wang Ye, nodded and said: "Then you still need to say it."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "So, these are two things, they cannot be confused. Your Xu family really has nothing to say to me, and I am very grateful."
Xu Zhiqian said: "You still have some conscience."
The two sang in harmony, which relieved Wang Ye's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Sanlang attaches great importance to love and righteousness. He is really a role model for us."
Emphasis on love and righteousness? Did he have some misunderstanding? Zhang Fei saw something wrong on his face and quickly explained: "Senior Brother Wang, please don't misunderstand me. Madam Xu and I are purely partners. We have nothing to talk about in private except for quarreling.
”
Xu Zhiqian didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but when Zhang Fei said it, she panicked and nodded: "Yes, yes, senior brother Wang, please don't misunderstand."
Wang Ye glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "I'm just telling you why you are so nervous."
"Who's nervous?"
The two said in unison.
After that, the two of them glanced at each other in perfect agreement.
Wang Ye laughed and said: "Junior sister, hurry up and prepare the wine and food I brought. I want to have a few drinks with Saburo."
But I thought to myself, it’s a good thing I brought it with me, otherwise... we wouldn’t be able to talk about it that day.
He didn't mean to use the food and wine to please Zhang Fei, but when he came to the Xu Mansion, he felt embarrassed that he was disturbing others, so he brought his own food and wine from the palace.
When the food and wine were served, Zhang Fei was in a good mood and drank three glasses of wine with Wang Ye first.
Wang Ye smiled and said: "Sanlang seems to be in a good mood today."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "Not bad! Not bad!"
Wang Ye added: "There is a saying that after seeing each other for three days, you should treat each other with admiration. Sanlang definitely deserves this reputation. Now the whole Bianjing capital is talking about the mortgage. Sanlang is really a blockbuster."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "How could I want to make such a fuss? I was forced to do so."
Wang Ye sighed and said: "I have already heard about the official document against the people of Erbi. I also feel sorry for Sanlang. They couldn't defend Sanlang in court, so they used this method to suppress Sanlang. It's really annoying.
Angry."
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei slightly nervously.
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for standing up for me, but there is no need to be angry. After all, they are not targeting me."
Xu Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ye said in surprise: "Who is that aimed at?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "They will target anyone who comes!"
"...!"
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, patted the table, and laughed loudly: "Wonderful! Wonderful! They will target anyone who comes here."
Xu Zhiqian's forehead and palms have begun to sweat.
Wang Ye raised his glass again and said: "Sanlang is so open-minded, I would like to toast Sanlang."
"Not only is it open-minded, but it's also great! You did it!"
Zhang Feizheng said that his mouth was dry, so he drank from the cup.
After putting down the wine glass, Wang Ye smiled and said: "Sanlang's clever plan also inspired me, but I don't know if it is feasible?"
Zhang Fei asked: "What inspiration?"
Wang Ye said: "Nowadays, there are so many people buying houses that house prices have risen. However, rising house prices is not a good thing. Why don't Sanlang propose to the great scholar Wang and ask him to petition the court to allocate some land for building houses, and then help the people."
By selling it, you can suppress the rise in housing prices and increase income for the court. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"....!"
After Wang Ye finished speaking, he saw Zhang Fei dumbfounded and asked, "Why is Sanlang silent?"
Zhang Fei was suddenly startled, "This is absolutely impossible."
"Why not?" Wang Yecuo asked in astonishment.
"You made a nice statement about suppressing housing prices, but you also said that the court is short of money now. If the court really makes money by building houses, then it wouldn't raise housing prices to the death."
"What you say is baseless. The imperial court's purpose in building housing is to balance housing prices. How could it increase prices at will?" Wang Ye shook his head.
"No evidence?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Currently, the court's main income is taxation. If these taxes can be increased, how can house prices not rise?"
Wang Ye's expression froze and he looked embarrassed.
There was a soft bang.
Zhang Fei turned his head and saw that Xu Zhiqian's wine glass had been knocked over. He looked at Xu Zhiqian again and said, "Mrs. Xu, why are you sweating so much?"
"I...I'm too drunk." Xu Zhiqian said with a smile.
Zhang Fei said: "That's true. You should drink less. We are already even. Don't do it again."
Xu Zhiqian glanced sideways at him, "Are you a good drinker?"
His eyes flickered almost crazily.
Zhang Fei muttered: "At least it's better than you." Seeing Xu Zhiqian looking at him lovingly, he also wondered, is this woman having sex? Why is she ogling me? Or am I holding it in for too long?
I'm hallucinating.
Wang Ye suddenly asked: "What are you talking about?"
Xu Zhiqian was startled, and when she saw Wang Yezheng looking at her with a smile, she hurriedly said: "Nothing, nothing."
Seeing Xu Zhiqian's panic, Zhang Fei also reacted, yes, Wang Ye can't know about this fight. In that case, I will become Lao Wang. My surname is Zhang, and his surname is Wang. He hurriedly transferred.
: "Your Excellency, let's continue talking about housing prices."
Xu Zhiqian almost bit her tongue. Are you blind? She was also a little anxious. After all, she concealed Wang Ye's identity. If Zhang Fei said something wrong, she would also be responsible.
Wang Ye smiled and nodded, and then said: "Then according to Saburo's wishes, how should the court control housing prices?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "In fact, rising housing prices are not a bad thing."
Wang Ye hurriedly asked: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "If the court knows how to play...!"
"Can you play?"
"Uh...it means knowing how to manage."
"Oh, Saburo, please continue."
"If the imperial court knows how to manage, it should adhere to the policy of renting public housing. It can allocate land and build houses, but it must be cheap public housing."
"Why is this?"
"It's very simple."
Zhang Fei explained: "This person lives by his house. Once he has a house, he has a home. Once he has a home, he will not leave easily, but everyone must fight to survive.
In the process of struggle, taxes will be generated. The more people, the more taxes, the stamina will be endless, the national finance will become rich, and once the economy improves, housing prices will inevitably rise, but this increase
That's a sign of prosperity, not a bad thing.
The key is to rent public housing, so it won't affect the people. It's all officials and wealthy gentry who are doing the transactions. It doesn't hurt to increase it a little. Based on their identity and status, I guess no one except the court would dare to maliciously raise housing prices.
.
Otherwise, it will fall into a vicious cycle."
He doesn't think that the rise in housing prices will cause much problems. The key is land. The land in the hands of the court is also limited and cannot be allocated casually.
Wang Ye pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Sanlang's words made me enlightened. I'd like to toast Sanlang."
"What respects you? It's not for seeing outsiders, it's for the sake of it!"
"Done!"
Another glass of wine.
Wang Ye added: "Although Sanlang's words are reasonable, the imperial court is not built, and those wealthy businessmen also tried their best to build it."
"Pattern!"
Zhang Fei waved his hand and said: "Brother Wang, you need to expand your life a little bit. It's just small money. No matter what you do, I just use it to play with."
When Wang Ye heard this, he felt extremely ashamed.
Is my situation so small?
"Ahem!"
It was Senior Brother Wang just now, and now it’s Brother Wang. Xu Zhiqian had a severe headache and coughed twice.
Zhang Fei turned his head and looked, and Wang Ye asked first: "Junior sister, does your throat feel uncomfortable?"
"Ah? No! No, it's just a little itchy."
Xu Zhiqian forced out an apologetic smile.
"Drink some wine and the itchiness will go away." Zhang Fei said hehey.
"......?"
Xu Zhiqian didn't feel it was funny, but rolled her eyes at him. But seeing that Wang Jie's expression was not so good, she quickly said: "You guys continue chatting, I'll pour you some wine."
So he actually got up and poured wine for them.
Are you so gentle and virtuous in front of your boyfriend? Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian in surprise.
Wang Ye asked Zhang Fei with great interest: "May I ask Sanlang, what is the big picture?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Of course it is to develop industry and commerce. Urban development can only rely on these two things. Didn't I just say that renting public housing can retain people. If people want to live, they must struggle, and struggle will generate taxes. But how?
Go and fight, where are the opportunities? This is what the court should do. As long as the court settles the people and gives them a job, the taxes will never be less, and just like this wine, it has endless stamina. Speaking of wine
, have another drink!"
"Okay! Today I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."
Wang Ye raises his glass.
Xu Zhiqian muttered: "What kind of gentleman? You should sacrifice your life to pay for Erbi."
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!"
Zhang Fei spurted out the wine in his mouth again, thinking to himself, was she swearing?
Wang Ye hurriedly asked: "Is Sanlang okay?"
"It's okay! It's okay! It's just a waste of this wine!"
Zhang Fei glared at Xu Zhiqian, suddenly turned his eyes, and pointed to his wine glass with a look on his face.
Xu Zhiqian picked up the wine bottle and came to Zhang Fei, bent down, and whispered calmly: "If you can't drink enough, just drink less."
Zhang Fei said in a low voice: "Can't you see this? I want you to be virtuous and virtuous in front of your Senior Brother Wang. You should lie to him first and then you can let yourself go after you get married. Otherwise, you can marry
Do you have to go out?"
Xu Zhiqian's cold eyes shot out two murderous glances, but she remained silent and stood up and walked towards Wang Ye.
Wow! She can endure this. It seems that she really loves her Senior Brother Wang!
Looking at that graceful figure, Zhang Fei suddenly felt melancholy in his heart. It seemed like he had to go to a place like that. Is it expensive?
Wang Ye had been contemplating and didn't pay attention to the two people's little actions. He didn't react until Xu Zhiqian came to him to pour wine.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Wang Ye nodded slightly and immediately looked at Zhang Fei, "What Sanlang said makes sense, but how should the court settle the people?"
Zhang Fei wondered: "Wow...Brother Wang, there's no need to ask in such detail. Let's just chat casually. It's not our turn to make the decision!"
Isn’t bragging all about bragging? Who cares about the details!
"That is, that is."
Wang Ye nodded, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
